Architecture Data Model
Overview
We want to introduce unified data structure which contains all information necessary to inspect, analyze, describe and visualize OpenStack architecture.
This Architecture data model could be consumed and processed by configuration analysis and diagnostics tool (Dark Knight).
Arhictecture data model must include all information necessary to deployment systems (e.g. Fuel or TripleO). We will implement simple conversion tools which will allow to configure these deployment systems and effectively support 'portable' clouds.
This model could be reused by Rally project to compare benchmarking results for different architectures.
The model can be used to inspect existing clouds for subsequent upgrade.
The model suits as base for questionaire to assess existing installations for support contract pricing purposes.
The model could be used to perform automated/guided hardening of OpenStack architecture and configuration.
Data Format
This section proposes data model format which allows to describe an OpenStack installation. The model includes data regarding physical infrastructure, logical topology of services and mapping between the two.
Architecture data model could be serialized as JSON or YaML document of the following format:
openstack
nodes
node1
-param1: value
-param2: value
services
nova
configuration
-param1: value
-param2: value
